Fault: Incorrect spine angle and lower back pain.

Golf Fitness Quick Fix: Increase hamstring flexibility to flex the knees when bending forward in the set-up position. This will help improve a reverse spine angle and prevent lower back pain and discomfort.

Golf Fitness Move: A simple way to increase hamstring flexibility is to use a rope or stretch strap. Lie back on the ground. Wrap a rope or stretch strap around the sole of the foot. Straighten your leg until a stretch in the back of the leg is felt.

Hamstring flexibility can help reduce the incidence of lower back injury and encourage proper spine angle.
